1. A theologian is a passive receiver of God’s active revelation about Jesus Christ, his words, works, and ways.
  2. Help comes for those who cannot help themselves. When we bottom-out and come to the end of ourselves, that is where hope springs.
  3. You are a child of God. You’re blameless, holy, perfect, and righteous. Don’t feel that way? Too bad. God is greater than your heart.
  4. Preachers and church workers must also hear the gospel preached to them.
  5. We don’t start with behavior and work toward Christ. We start with Christ and everything works out from there.
  6. Through water, blood, and word, the Spirit never stops pointing us to Christ, and even more, giving us Christ.
  7. The reason that God’s commandments are not burdensome is that Jesus has fulfilled them.
  8. The love mentioned in 1 John 4:15-21 fourteen times (!) is a love that needs no apology but is determined at all times to sacrifice for the other.
  9. Logos theology is a theology of presence without division. It is a way of unification, of which the incarnation is the greatest visible example.
  10. We can appreciate what we have received from God, we can receive it all as free gift, but only when we stop investing in fool's gold.
